Bypass LED

 - Indicates if the pedal is on or off by illuminating solid when on, and off when the pedal 

is off. 

Sus/Latch Switch

 - The Sus/Latch switch allows you to momentarily sustain the current reverb sound 

by pressing and holding on the switch. You can also latch the sound by clicking this switch on and 
click again to unlatch. Due to the powerful architecture of the R1, anytime you sustain a reverb, your 
guitar signal is rerouted through an identical reverb so anything you play over the sustained sound 
will have the same reverb applied to it that was sustained. 

Sus/Latch LED

 - The Preset LED lights up the color of the selected preset – Red, Green, or Blue. When 

a knob is turned, this LED turns purple to indicate the preset has been modified. When that knob 
crosses its saved position, the LED changes back to the color of the currently selected preset to let 
you know its last saved position. This is helpful when you want to tweak a parameter on a preset but 
cannot remember where a knob was last saved. 

Audio Input and Output

 - The Mako R1 offers multiple input and output configurations. 

     o  Mono In / Mono Out - Use the mono jacks for mono in - mono out.
     o  Mono In / Dual Mono Out - Only available when using DSP bypass mode.
     o  Stereo In / Stereo Out
     o  Stereo In / Mono Out - Only available when using DSP bypass mode.

The pedal includes 128 total presets slots. The first 9 presets are accessible from the pedal using 
the Bank switch and both stomp switches. All 128 presets are accessible via MIDI Program Change 
messages which are outlined in the MIDI section.  

Switching presets on the R1 is seamless. When you change to a new preset, the previous reverb is 
allowed to decay naturally over the sound of the newly loaded preset. Note that scrolling through 
multiple presets too quickly can cause the previous reverb decay to cut off to load the new preset.
